Families spread out blankets and chairs, enjoyed food, and watched the film together on campus.
WHICH SCHOOLS OR DISTRICTS: Fairlawn Elementary School, St. Lucie Public Schools. No specific grade levels were identified in the announcement.
WHAT WE DON'T KNOW: The date of the event was not included in the source announcement. Enrollment figures and the number of families who attended were not reported.
